At the moment they need to stop thinking about being Premiers and winning back to back titles. They need to go back to a purely week by week approach and put some points on the board. Re-assess campaigns for the title mid-season. As Dan says, harden up, and if they do wins will come.

According to my Dad (an old timer), Manly has never had a team that plays well in the rain.
When I went to his place to watch the Penrith match he said "Got some bad news for you, it's going to rain down there. You know what that means."
Looks like the old boy still makes a lot of sense.
